By the end of the presentation, participants should have a basic understanding of: the difference between “dizziness” and vertigo, functions of the vestibular system, signs and symptoms of vestibular dysfunction, and vestibular treatment principles. The lecture will also include a discussion of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a very common vestibular condition.
